“This is Dennis. He was next to me at the Eagles Superbowl Parade. He’s carrying with him the remains of his wife, Becky,” posted parade goer Dustin Javier on Facebook. “He said, ‘She was a die-hard Eagles fan so I had to make sure she was here for this.'”

Others decided to scatter their loved ones ashes at the celebration.

My uncle, who was also a father figure in my life, passed away a year and a half ago. Yesterday was his birthday and he was the biggest @Eagles fan. His brother is taking a small vial of his ashes to the #EaglesParade to be spread out as they follow along. I love and miss you.
